Leo D.M.J. Aurini - Is Jediism a Superior Religion to Christianity？

00:00:00.000 is jediism a superior religion to christianity 0.99

00:00:08.000 spoilers no it isn't

00:00:12.960 the order of jedi knights is a fictitious religious order from a series that had four and a half good

00:00:26.000 movies so no it's not a superior religion to christianity or just about any other one

00:00:36.240 and yet it's a question that kind of bites in doesn't it

00:00:43.760 now maybe this is just my zillennial addled mind granted i don't think star wars is quite as popular

00:00:50.720 as it used to be in the day and yet it still has some staying power

00:01:00.320 specifically what i'm thinking about what kind of sparked the idea for this video

00:01:06.480 was an event that i'm way behind on an event from 2001.

00:01:12.480 see back then in the the very early days of the internet there's this chain email going around

00:01:20.320 in australia in particular saying that if enough people claim on the this year's census that their

00:01:30.320 religion is jedi it will have to become an officially recognized religion

00:01:35.760 and that's that wasn't actually true

00:01:44.640 but as a consequence about one percent of the population

00:01:48.800 of australia new zealand canada the uk ireland scotland all registered jedi

00:01:58.880 on their census forms it was also extremely popular in the czech republic as well although there

00:02:09.040 a lot of people registered sith

00:02:14.320 still going strong there for some reason

00:02:18.880 the fact of the matter is that the the jedi mythos of the star wars saga has really captured the minds

00:02:29.120 and even after a lot of really bad movies and tv series it still captures the minds

00:02:38.320 2005 in texas the uh

00:02:44.560 the temple of the jedi order gained tax-exempt status and in 2007 in britain a man by the name of

00:02:54.480 uh of uh daniel jones

00:02:59.440 registered the church of jediism

00:03:03.360 and unlike some other religions we aren't going to name because i don't want to get sued like these

00:03:09.120 aren't fake either they're they seem quite sincere in trying to take these jedi principles and apply them

00:03:17.200 to a meaningful life path

00:03:26.480 so why is it why are we living in a world where

00:03:31.040 a fake religion 1.00

00:03:32.800 that has about 12 lines of dialogue backing it up in the films

00:03:36.960 why is this so popular why can i have an edgy title for a video like this one

00:03:46.880 and the title you don't immediately dismiss it you read the title and you say i'll bet he's gonna

00:03:52.480 say something interesting about all of this why is there something interesting to say

00:04:04.400 i myself am oh god how would

00:04:09.600 i am an esoteric

00:04:16.960 catholic syncretist who is highly heterodox

00:04:22.960 i was baptized in the catholic church uh uh what almost 10 years ago

00:04:31.600 leo is my christian name

00:04:33.280 and i am quite sincere in my devotions although

00:04:40.240 i'm also somebody that has five planets in their ninth ninth house and if it were

00:04:45.680 500 years ago i'm the sort of guy that have to worry about being burned at the stake

00:04:52.320 these days the current church just labels me a nazian racist

00:04:58.880 but that's okay i'm not i'm not much of a group person at the end of the day

00:05:03.280 but the catholic church in particular and other christian faiths and other faiths as well

00:05:12.960 the catholic church being the one i can speak to the best

00:05:18.000 does have a very rich and nuanced spiritual tradition

00:05:25.440 it's it's not a sledgehammer it's not a series of rules it's not merely a series of rules it's

00:05:35.200 there's so much more to it than that and yet

00:05:41.680 on the one hand i've met some amazing priests with powerful graces who

00:05:47.600 are not interested in using religion as a cudgel

00:05:54.880 they're interested in having communion with you a fellow soul and helping you in your spiritual development

00:06:06.720 i've also met priests that couldn't see past the ten commandments

00:06:12.080 and i've known a lot of women that wound up being very harmed by their early religious upbringing

00:06:22.320 um no not in that way

00:06:27.600 but in the way that

00:06:31.520 you know how like we've all grown up

00:06:35.040 with zero tolerance tolerance policies in school

00:06:41.120 and how these zero tolerance policies somehow

00:06:44.720 all the shipbirds got away with whatever mayhem they wanted 0.99

00:06:48.400 while all the good kids are the ones that got punished for breaking these rules

00:06:58.160 i've known a lot of women who were good girls 1.00

00:07:01.040 girls they were good girls walking on a good path

00:07:05.200 instead of being encouraged where they were going

00:07:08.400 some priest probably with a misogyny complex absolutely

00:07:14.560 nuked them from orbit when they were just entering womanhood 1.00

00:07:20.080 and it caused a lot of psychic damage for these girls 1.00

00:07:29.040 so i can understand why

00:07:38.240 this fascination with the jedi religion

00:07:41.600 exists

00:07:42.960 and it's because of these failures that i've mentioned before

00:07:47.520 with uh ken wilbur's book the religion of the future

00:07:53.200 which

00:07:54.960 as i've said spoiler the religion of the future is the ones we have right now

00:07:58.800 those are the religions of the future 1.00

00:08:01.600 but

00:08:02.560 they're going to be so much better than they are right now

00:08:05.440 and a lot of the western religions are very much mired in the bronze age

00:08:15.920 this is the reason jediism is so popular

00:08:19.680 latently if not literally

00:08:21.680 it's because we are dealing with the hangover from the age of pisces

00:08:33.920 so christianity in particular i mean all of our modern religions

00:08:37.680 are piscean artifacts

00:08:48.640 pisces is the mystic

00:08:50.960 okay the past 2 000 years of the piscean age have been when mysticism took hold of humanity

00:08:58.720 prior to that we had the age of aries where heroism took over humanity prior to that the age of taurus

00:09:07.600 these ages have characters

00:09:15.920 and the character

00:09:18.080 of the mystic pisces

00:09:20.400 was to start getting humanity to ascend spiritually

00:09:24.000 and it definitely did that

00:09:30.960 in the east they ascended through states of consciousness

00:09:36.000 without advancing their stages of consciousness

00:09:40.240 they became amazing meditators

00:09:42.240 but they stayed locked in at a patriarchal parochial version of society

00:09:57.520 meanwhile in the west

00:10:00.960 institutions took over the church

00:10:04.000 and so the

00:10:05.920 religion that had been 0.78

00:10:07.360 written down and theologized during the bronze age

00:10:15.920 became the literal religion

00:10:19.040 while the stages of moral thought became more complex

00:10:31.520 and so to explore this i'm going to be talking about four of ken wilbur's stages

00:10:37.840 you've got

00:10:39.040 stage four

00:10:40.880 which is the rules and responsibilities actually let's let's start with stage three straight

00:10:45.600 stage three is power seeking

00:10:49.120 right it's it's the independent stage of a child growing up

00:10:53.520 it's where they're trying to gain control over their environment where they start saying no

00:10:58.400 a lot

00:10:59.440 power seeking

00:11:02.160 and then

00:11:02.560 the subject becomes the object of the new subject

00:11:10.240 elevate and integrate

00:11:13.600 so what you use what used to be you

00:11:17.840 now becomes the thing that you observe and control

00:11:21.440 so the power stage

00:11:26.880 gives into the roles and responsibility stages

00:11:32.800 everybody can't just wildly seek power

00:11:35.280 they have to seek power

00:11:37.040 in their proper roles

00:11:39.840 this in the bronze age

00:11:41.760 this is when slavery was invented this is when the tyrannical king gods 0.87

00:11:50.800 you know uh

00:11:52.400 son of marduk 0.97

00:11:54.080 dictates life for everybody and why do you follow the rules

00:11:57.280 because he said so

00:12:01.040 not because he's an enlightened monarch monarch

00:12:03.760 because he said so and he's literally the son of marduk

00:12:07.360 that's stage four

00:12:08.240 age of pisces saw this very toxic form of stage four

00:12:17.680 turn into a more enlightened form of stage four

00:12:22.080 the enlightened form of stage four being

00:12:26.000 that the system should work for everybody

00:12:28.880 that if a slave is being a good slave then they should be treated well

00:12:38.160 and a bad slave master is a shame unto himself

00:12:49.360 early christianity

00:12:52.080 preached radical egalitarianism in that sense

00:12:55.120 but not the radical egalitarianism that we have now is a very different it was an egality

00:13:02.240 of slave and master without dissolving the roles of slave and master

00:13:12.160 around 500 a.d

00:13:14.720 christianity went mainstream

00:13:17.520 those in power

00:13:20.000 saw the use for christianity

00:13:22.400 and this is when the stage five began taking on

00:13:35.120 eventually culminating in the 15th century

00:13:40.400 so the leaders of christianity and the leaders of the nations

00:13:43.360 started becoming very rational very tactical in their thinking

00:13:48.160 by the 15th century by the middle ages

00:13:56.480 the black death destroyed the previous 0.97

00:14:02.480 system the the feudal system of everybody has their place and they better stay in it a very stage

00:14:09.280 four system that got destroyed by the black death all of a sudden labor was at a premium 1.00

00:14:15.040 there were two popes there's opportunities everywhere the the nobility recognizes that they

00:14:22.800 need to pay tribute to the church but they also see opportunity

00:14:29.840 the game series kingdom come deliverance is really about living in the midst of this

00:14:36.560 this four to five transition a lot of the level five a lot of the mercenary work

00:14:45.840 well there's two catch phrases to kingdom come deliverance too

00:14:50.800 a dentis fortuna yevat fortune favors the bold and war is a messy business

00:15:03.760 this level five opportunism was in its ugly phase

00:15:10.560 where there were no rules of war where sometimes villages got burnt down

00:15:15.520 now everybody was still stage four everybody still had complete faith in christ and the saints and the virgin mary

00:15:30.000 but the church is an institution yeah you know

00:15:36.080 they took a more realistic power assessment a capitalist assessment of what was going on

00:15:42.960 and so all of that great heroism and villainy that you get in the middle ages following the black death 0.99

00:15:56.160 it stems from the fact that people realize there's a power game here

00:16:02.480 there's a game for money and recognition by the church and authority and we got to play the game smart

00:16:12.960 and we didn't yet have rules for warfare

00:16:19.120 so sometimes the christian monarch would burn down a village full of peasants

00:16:28.000 that's the moral ambiguity explored in their kingdom come deliverance series

00:16:40.000 in the middle ages it was exceptional people thinking at stage five

00:16:47.280 all right like the top one percent most people were still at stage four

00:16:55.440 by 1750

00:17:00.240 if stage five the incipient stage five was the renaissance

00:17:03.280 stage five went mainstream with the enlightenment

00:17:12.480 this is when everybody became mercantile everybody became a capitalist

00:17:21.040 and we started we started instituting some reasonable and pragmatic rules rules of war rules of trade

00:17:30.560 basic contracts between merchant and customer between citizen and monarch

00:17:40.640 all the stuff started becoming pretty mainstream we actually had the the reasoning man's society

00:17:48.000 stage five the achieve the capitalist the the reasoning man

00:17:52.560 and this is also when the bleeding edge of stage six started coming online

00:18:07.680 stage six is the stage where you recognize that everybody's got like their own opinion man

00:18:14.480 stage six is when the scientific method starts being developed

00:18:28.800 stage six requires that you

00:18:32.080 understand that somebody else's point of view comes from their environment their childhood where they grew

00:18:37.600 up etc etc etc etc and so if we're going to have some system of rules that we can agree upon

00:18:44.480 it can't just be the king telling us what to do because he's the king and because the pope

00:18:50.720 tossed holy water on him there needs to be some sort of objective system to which

00:18:58.560 everybody can show fealty to

00:19:01.360 and that's what the scientific method is it's a a system of independent testing

00:19:08.880 that it it doesn't matter as long as you're not completely insane we can all agree that oh if you

00:19:16.400 step outside and you get wet it's because it's raining independent objective verification

00:19:23.680 that's what stage six is all about and and really started bleeding in in the the period of the enlightenment 1750

00:19:38.080 and then it went from one percent to about ten percent of the population by 1950

00:19:46.240 now what was happening with religion during this time

00:20:05.040 in the 500s

00:20:08.240 religion started hitting a mature form where it wasn't just you seeking power

00:20:14.560 by serving the gods but you seeking social harmony seeking a a system where the the new gods of the piscean era

00:20:25.200 all of the religions uh and christianity zoroastrianism um

00:20:36.400 talmudic judaism that like judaism was invented in the age of pisces

00:20:45.280 it was based upon previous

00:20:48.400 probably polytheistic

00:20:51.680 middle eastern religions

00:20:56.080 the works of plato and aristotle all of these things these are piscean

00:21:01.760 religions that emphasize the universality of man

00:21:06.240 in the middle ages you start getting more power seeking because everybody was of a universalist faith

00:21:19.840 by that point even if there's a few different universalist faiths everybody's a universalist at that point

00:21:25.840 now we start playing the power game the strategy game the achievement game

00:21:39.520 but the church is still stuck in the bronze ages

00:21:41.600 stage six

00:21:48.560 independent verification

00:21:50.880 independent personality starts kicking off in the enlightenment and what are they doing

00:21:54.960 they're starting they're starting to scientifically investigate the bible

00:22:04.720 oh and we run into a big problem here

00:22:06.400 it turns out

00:22:12.960 that scientific investigation the first stages of scientific investigation

00:22:19.520 wind up contradicting a lot of the things in the bible

00:22:22.720 this

00:22:30.640 wouldn't have been a problem in the east

00:22:35.360 buddhism

00:22:41.280 buddhism is not tied to

00:22:46.880 its physical claims

00:22:48.080 it's tied to its spiritual claims

00:22:55.040 and so if hypothetically

00:22:57.120 you did some archaeological research to prove that actually

00:23:01.200 there wasn't one buddha there were like three guys

00:23:04.720 it was kind of like a

00:23:06.480 plato socrates aristotle sort of situation

00:23:11.040 and that modern buddhist teachings are a

00:23:14.880 combination of these three individuals that are mythologized as guatama buddha

00:23:24.400 for the most part that wouldn't really upset the buddhists all that much

00:23:29.440 they're about achieving the higher states of consciousness

00:23:33.600 as opposed to

00:23:36.400 creating a doctrine which is true because it literally came down from on high from golden tablets

00:23:44.240 but as i said in the east they didn't have the stage of advancement

00:23:52.320 they had the state advancement we had stage advancement in the west

00:24:00.880 and the stage advancement eventually led to the crisis of faith

00:24:05.760 where

00:24:06.000 where

00:24:07.280 we could no longer pretend

00:24:10.880 that the bible

00:24:12.320 and the scientific method

00:24:14.320 are literally saying the same thing

00:24:16.560 and so by the 1960s see when it was just the intellectuals

00:24:30.640 doing this

00:24:32.960 when it was just the albert einsteins

00:24:37.280 trying to grapple with the problem of quantum physics and whether or not god plays dice with the

00:24:43.600 universe

00:24:44.800 when it's just albert einstein doing with that like we're okay

00:24:49.200 we're okay everybody else still believed in religion a hundred percent

00:24:53.280 judaism christianity islam everybody still believed in it

00:24:59.040 einstein had a very peculiar

00:25:02.640 form of judaistic belief

00:25:04.560 but it's okay if your bleeding-edge intellectuals are like that

00:25:13.600 then

00:25:14.720 the 1960s happen

00:25:17.520 and stage six goes mainstream

00:25:23.600 with any idea

00:25:26.720 with any any paradigm shifting idea

00:25:29.840 when the idea hits 10 percent of the population

00:25:34.960 the idea goes mainstream

00:25:39.600 the whole

00:25:41.040 red pill

00:25:42.720 game

00:25:43.360 pua stuff

00:25:45.760 that went mainstream in 2016

00:25:49.040 even the left believes in that now

00:25:51.360 all of their insults are based upon

00:25:53.680 the stuff they used to say didn't exist

00:25:56.000 it's gone mainstream it hit that 10 percent

00:26:00.480 and the 1960s

00:26:02.880 this

00:26:04.320 universalist hippie

00:26:07.040 scientific

00:26:08.640 perspective on reality that everybody has their own unique perspective

00:26:13.440 and we should respect those perspectives

00:26:15.920 that hit mainstream

00:26:17.200 and despite two centuries of effort

00:26:27.200 it turns out that the scientific perspective upon reality

00:26:32.800 does not agree with the literalist bronze age

00:26:37.520 and while we've always had a few

00:26:52.880 mystics

00:26:55.280 we've always had a few shamans

00:26:57.680 a few spiritualists a few people that really are at the higher levels

00:27:01.360 even if they're part of a religion mired in the bronze age

00:27:14.560 it's one thing when those people are

00:27:16.960 unique individuals when they're an albert einstein

00:27:21.360 when they're saint theresa

00:27:22.560 but when you've got a whole damn generation of kids

00:27:29.360 clicking into this stuff

00:27:32.800 well

00:27:35.040 we didn't have enough priests to go around

00:27:36.720 and thus

00:27:46.960 jediism 0.71

00:27:47.680 a brief aside i i need to touch on this by the way

00:27:57.360 the

00:27:59.120 i'm really over simplifying the 60s

00:28:01.360 there were tons of hippies that didn't join degenerate communes

00:28:09.680 where they all became sex criminals

00:28:13.520 there were tons of hippies that tried to walk the talk 1.00

00:28:17.040 tried to be ecologists tried to live in harmony and actually did a pretty darn good job

00:28:23.840 there were a lot of right-wing level six individuals

00:28:28.400 uh

00:28:31.520 the past 50 years at the same time as we got all of these people ascending to the scientific ecology

00:28:38.320 uh individualistic philosophy

00:28:41.600 we also developed a lot of really powerful mind control technologies uh mk ultra

00:28:48.960 uh operation mockingbird

00:28:51.280 we have

00:28:55.360 instead of giving these people priests

00:28:59.200 to guide and initiate them into wisdom

00:29:03.600 we gave them federal agents to subvert them and drive them insane and

00:29:09.760 operate them as if they're a weapon to use against foreign forces it's been an absolute mess

00:29:16.400 so it's not just the fact that the church did not have enough high level priests

00:29:23.360 to guide people okay we've also had you know cia agents

00:29:29.280 subverting every single thing that happens so the past 50 years have been absolutely wild

00:29:36.720 let's not ignore that fact

00:29:38.080 a lot of decent hippies got really subverted

00:29:45.760 okay so don't don't be too harsh on these guys

00:29:48.720 it's it's like the hippies that survived either learned to hide

00:29:53.760 or or they got driven insane and we only got the worst of the hippies that were allowed to continue 0.77

00:29:59.200 the hippies were a major spiritual advancement but the best and brightest were getting sabotaged the entire time

00:30:12.400 so enter jediism

00:30:20.880 in return of the jedi 0.98

00:30:23.920 that's the uh the third of the original trilogy

00:30:29.200 luke skywalker

00:30:33.520 is

00:30:34.800 a healthy idealized stage six

00:30:40.560 now we mostly see the

00:30:42.480 bad degenerate stage six

00:30:44.880 we see the stage six that wants to give

00:30:47.920 money to criminals because that will oh they just they were deprived of opportunity

00:30:52.800 everybody everybody's equal

00:30:56.480 you know we should have down syndrome lawyers

00:31:06.240 the depraved stage four invented slavery 0.98

00:31:10.800 the depraved stage five

00:31:13.120 would burn down peasant villages in the name of christ 1.00

00:31:20.960 the depraved stage six

00:31:25.360 elevates the perverse the ugly and the maimed

00:31:29.760 we're awash

00:31:37.120 in the depraved stage six

00:31:39.600 in the name of equality

00:31:42.880 well what luke skywalker

00:31:44.880 represented was an idealized stage six

00:31:49.200 that could always see things from everybody else's perspective

00:31:52.400 the third film starts off

00:32:00.480 with him staging a rescue mission

00:32:03.920 for han solo from a

00:32:06.960 gangster jabba the hut

00:32:08.240 but he doesn't go in guns blazing

00:32:13.120 in fact he sets up a spider's web

00:32:16.160 and all jabba has to do

00:32:18.960 is be a good person jabba you've got the option

00:32:22.240 i don't want to fight you man

00:32:25.120 just give me han solo 0.61

00:32:31.200 and the whole thing is it's a web it's a trap that luke has made

00:32:35.680 and the only way that jabba can get out alive

00:32:39.280 is to be a good person

00:32:40.960 luke is respecting his individuality

00:32:45.200 luke respects everybody's individuality in the in the film

00:32:49.440 he fights against the imperial forces he fights against stormtroopers

00:32:55.120 but he doesn't hate them

00:32:58.400 doesn't have malice in his heart

00:33:00.720 even though

00:33:02.240 like a healthy man he's perfectly willing to

00:33:05.280 kill somebody in a duel

00:33:10.560 this is healthy stage six

00:33:12.080 this is healthy hippie

00:33:14.080 this is what hippies were supposed to be

00:33:20.720 and the other thing that really stands out

00:33:22.720 i i really want to do a full review of return of the jedi at some point

00:33:27.120 but the other thing that stands out

00:33:30.640 is that

00:33:31.120 there's some uh star wars conspiracy theory videos

00:33:37.920 about how obi-wan and yoda were actually cranking up luke

00:33:45.920 to be a self-destruct weapon against vader

00:33:48.320 right like they were winding up anakin's own son to go murder him

00:33:55.600 and that that's not totally fair that's not a totally fair analysis but it's got some truth to it doesn't it

00:34:02.720 they are convinced

00:34:10.000 they are convinced

00:34:12.720 that vader is irredeemable

00:34:14.480 and yet luke proves them wrong

00:34:32.800 and so did they

00:34:33.760 do they

00:34:35.840 excommunicate him from the jedi order 1.00

00:34:38.800 do they denounce him

00:34:41.280 they attack him

00:34:46.160 no they worry about him

00:34:48.880 and then when luke proves them wrong

00:34:53.040 anakin is a force ghost next to them

00:34:55.840 they're happy

00:34:57.760 that he proved them wrong

00:34:59.360 they are not slaves to doctrine

00:35:07.040 obi-wan and yoda were in the wrong

00:35:11.200 and this is this is the whole stage six thing

00:35:18.000 there is no doctrine there is no theology

00:35:20.720 that can perfectly protect us

00:35:30.160 and so all of these stage six hippie kids

00:35:34.000 everybody that's been born after 1960

00:35:37.280 who's run into an authoritarian mentor

00:35:43.440 that always says we're wrong because we broke this or that rule

00:35:47.200 that's what jedi ism is an answer to 0.98

00:35:57.520 jedi ism respects the traditions it respects mentorships it overcomes and integrates

00:36:08.720 it's not rebelling against stage three luke wants to be powerful it's not rebelling against stage four

00:36:15.360 luke is happy to serve his role

00:36:20.240 it's not rebelling against stage five luke is seeking his destiny

00:36:27.120 there's no rebellion in luke skywalker

00:36:32.800 even when in the empire strikes back when he walks away from yoda

00:36:39.440 and and ben and yoda are trying to warn him against what he's doing

00:36:45.360 you're not ready for the struggle man you're like the darth vader will defeat you 1.00

00:36:51.200 we're worried he's going to turn you

00:36:55.120 they warn they worry they don't condemn

00:37:04.080 and those girls i mentioned earlier that got 1.00

00:37:07.280 damaged by

00:37:10.720 probably misogynistic priests

00:37:15.520 those girls got condemned for being women 1.00

00:37:20.000 and i dare say a lot of us have been condemned for being boys

00:37:34.240 our western religions

00:37:38.240 although there is a place in the tradition for stage six and there always has been we've always had mystics

00:37:45.360 there haven't been enough priests

00:37:52.400 to induct the sudden swell of people at stage six

00:37:56.880 and that's what star wars is that's that's what jedi ism is

00:38:07.440 done properly

00:38:10.320 it's a stage six individualist religion that integrates all the lower levels it's it's not a rebellious

00:38:20.800 it's tear down society religion it's uh integrate and elevate religion 0.97

00:38:33.920 this is something

00:38:37.680 this is something that disney star wars

00:38:42.560 completely fails to understand

00:38:47.440 now that's the following is this is a little bit of an aside but i don't know when i'll

00:38:55.120 ever have a chance to say this again and um i i ran into a quote by the writer manly p hall

00:39:03.040 who i i can't call him a christian esotericist he he's more of a syncretist

00:39:09.440 but i've been reading a lot of this guy's stuff and i have so much respect for him not only as a scholar but as a moralist

00:39:20.320 this guy's based man

00:39:26.160 and the following quote is from his work magic atreides

00:39:31.600 he's unnatural occultism and i read this and it immediately struck me

00:39:40.000 i was reminded of that scene

00:39:43.040 in

00:39:45.040 the mandalorian season three

00:39:48.400 when uh groku when baby yoda

00:39:51.680 finds the yeah please bear with me when he finds the the the jedi monument

00:39:56.480 and all of these magical lights start swirling around

00:40:05.440 i saw that and it struck me like this is something from harry potter that's this is not jedi

00:40:11.040 this is not what the force is all about

00:40:18.320 this is from the chapter

00:40:21.680 warning on dark magic

00:40:26.720 manly p hall writes

00:40:30.080 do not experiment

00:40:32.000 in spiritual things experimentation is usually fatal and unnumbered students have gone to untimely

00:40:38.160 graves and lunatic asylums or have become obsessed while they were trying something

00:40:43.920 keep away from phenomenalism

00:40:47.600 phenomenalism means like flashy stuff

00:40:50.560 there is nothing in it for the true student he is not seeking to gain salvation through his eyes but

00:40:59.680 through his soul phenomenalism never appeals to the higher side of the nature but at most

00:41:06.160 satisfies only inquisitiveness

00:41:08.960 as of old so today the cry is seldom save souls but it's usually show us miracles

00:41:16.560 i would be really surprised to find out that george lucas read this i just think he has good instincts

00:41:26.720 but

00:41:31.760 you'll notice how i just knocked over admiral akbar

00:41:34.960 you'll notice

00:41:35.680 that all of the showiest

00:41:41.840 effects of the force in the star wars series

00:41:45.120 they're always by the sith 0.98

00:41:46.320 the sith the sith are the ones that wield magic powers 1.00

00:41:56.560 the jedi does not crave glory

00:42:02.480 well the harry potter

00:42:06.080 magic nonsense and i'm sorry if you like harry potter but

00:42:09.680 harry potter is a power fantasy for people that don't want to upset the longhouse matriarchy 1.00

00:42:24.960 yes you got to have all sorts of flashy powers as long as you don't offend anybody

00:42:30.080 being a jedi is the exact opposite of that being a jedi you offend your teachers 0.80

00:42:40.160 but you stay away from the flashy powers

00:42:46.080 magic isn't about showing off it's about accomplishing righteous ends

00:42:51.120 so

00:43:00.400 the core concept i'm trying to get across here

00:43:05.360 is jediism 0.57

00:43:10.560 christianity

00:43:13.520 lacked sufficient priests

00:43:18.160 lacked sufficiently

00:43:21.120 aware priests

00:43:24.160 to transit us

00:43:25.600 from level six to level seven

00:43:30.880 level seven is the one at one percent right now

00:43:35.040 it's the one

00:43:36.960 ready to hit foom level

00:43:39.680 and go to ten percent

00:43:42.000 and it's the one that really changes everything

00:43:44.320 level seven is the inter integrationalist

00:43:53.520 stage

00:43:56.240 thus can wilbur calling it integral theory

00:44:03.040 level seven

00:44:05.600 is where you

00:44:07.600 finally realize that you have all the stages inside of yourself

00:44:12.800 that you were at stage three and then four and five and six

00:44:20.480 and when as soon as you can see all of those stages

00:44:24.800 that you you see yourself as a a tree blossoming through time

00:44:30.480 that's stage seven and you also see everybody else

00:44:39.680 as these trees blossoming through time

00:44:42.080 luke skywalker is not a stage seven hero

00:44:54.400 luke skywalker is not a stage seven hero

00:44:56.480 luke skywalker sees the good that still exists in darth vader

00:45:06.240 but he doesn't see darth vader as a growth process

00:45:13.280 he still sees darth vader as right or wrong

00:45:16.560 he he still sees everything as right or wrong

00:45:20.640 stage sevens it's more like you see

00:45:23.920 how wrong leads to growth and sometimes right leads to stagnation

00:45:28.640 this

00:45:50.320 second tier thinking

00:45:51.360 because stage seven is the first time you realize there's other stages

00:45:57.200 every single stage up until then has a universalist

00:46:01.360 approach to things they they demand everybody else live up to their standards

00:46:07.680 this is the problem with a stage four bronze age priest 0.94

00:46:11.840 they'll answer all the questions correct on the exam

00:46:14.480 and then constantly chastise people for not being as primitive as them

00:46:20.720 there's not a lot of priests like that but they do exist

00:46:24.160 and it's really frustrating when you're trying to talk to one of them

00:46:31.200 but stage seven is the first time you can see all the other stages that you can start

00:46:35.680 integrating all of them you see everybody as part of this organic growing whole

00:46:44.800 and if you're happy if you're healthy stage seven you won't be uh

00:46:48.560 afraid of uh trimming some of the bushes that need to be trimmed as well

00:47:00.400 judaism is the 1.00

00:47:03.920 cultural stopgap it's it's the

00:47:08.160 religion wasn't going to do it 1.00

00:47:09.280 christianity can get to level seven readily

00:47:16.080 but it wasn't going to do level six in time which is why i jedi-ism appeared

00:47:30.000 and it's a it's a very powerful egregore

00:47:40.240 the fact they're still making movies and video games even though most of them are terrible

00:47:44.960 but they keep trying to make them is because people need that stage six they need that leap

00:47:53.200 in between the bronze age religion 0.97

00:47:56.400 and

00:47:57.840 the stage seven integrated christianity of the future

00:48:02.480 of the age of aquarius

00:48:07.840 the

00:48:11.040 age of aquarius is going to be

00:48:17.360 an end to astral pyramids

00:48:19.360 uh the astral pyramid the effect of the age of pisces

00:48:25.840 was that we had we had multiple

00:48:32.240 what do you want to call them bodhisattvas

00:48:34.400 we had these these spiritual geniuses

00:48:43.120 you know i ran into a i ran into a good video analyzing christ as a fictional character

00:48:48.480 and the guy was taking the approach about

00:48:51.440 like badly written smart characters versus good smart characters

00:48:56.480 christ is an extremely well written smart character

00:49:04.640 the guy outsmarts his way out of so many theological traps

00:49:08.320 and he also

00:49:13.280 exemplifies a high level of spiritual a very high level of spiritual development

00:49:17.760 kind of hard to fake that character

00:49:25.760 i'll tell you no modern hollywood writer could write a christ

00:49:28.480 reads as legit is what i'm saying

00:49:39.600 and yet we took these really profound individuals and we started building

00:49:44.000 pyramidal cults off of them

00:49:49.040 multi-level marketing schemes

00:49:52.240 we came up with a prosaic interpretation of what they said

00:49:55.840 and now if we can just force everybody on the planet to believe the same damn thing

00:49:59.840 then we'll i don't know second coming or something

00:50:04.560 no that's that's not actually how it works

00:50:15.920 no we need to get people to the integration list

00:50:28.000 phase

00:50:30.000 and

00:50:32.080 jedi-ism 0.93

00:50:36.160 i'm not saying that we

00:50:38.560 promote jedi-ism i'm not saying you need to join a jedi temple

00:50:41.680 i'm saying that we recognize

00:50:46.960 that this this jedi-ism or if it's

00:50:53.680 there's other ways you can go about this it's just that jedi is is really really common

00:51:01.040 if you recognize it as the stage six the beginning of individuation

00:51:08.240 uh

00:51:09.920 not just following a religion but

00:51:12.320 internalizing

00:51:14.160 the religion becoming your own avatar

00:51:17.760 of the religion

00:51:22.400 while respecting all of the traditions

00:51:25.840 luke skywalker isn't a rebel despite being part of the rebel alliance

00:51:29.520 he

00:51:35.200 only hates the empire before he becomes a jedi 1.00

00:51:39.520 he doesn't hate it

00:51:42.320 after he joins he does his duty and he seeks to reform his father

00:51:54.080 embrace that energy

00:51:55.200 recognize why it's there

00:52:03.440 and

00:52:07.200 ultimately

00:52:09.360 bring our religions to

00:52:11.920 the next level

00:52:12.720 luke skywalker managed to hold on to the past while seizing the future

00:52:24.640 which is why all of us need to

00:52:28.320 carpe
